The meaning of gestures Puerto Rico

As in most Latin countries, people tend to stand close to one another in any social or even business setting. This relates to a different perspective on ‘personal space,’ with North Americans and many Europeans believing that people should stand about an arm’s length from one another. If you tend to move away from a Latin first, it could be considered as offensive or insulting.

Men tend to smile and stare at women, which is considered acceptable, but the reverse is not.

Puerto Ricans tend to interrupt each other frequently and are not upset when this occurs.

If someone wiggles their nose, it probably means he or she is saying ‘What’s going on here?’

You will hear restaurant patrons signal for waiters by making a ‘psssst’ sound.

"A distinguishing characteristic of multi-ethnic Millennials is their heavily “second generation” orientation. Since they are more likely children of immigrants than immigrants themselves, the proportion of foreign born Millennials is relatively small when compared to Generation Xers and Baby Boomers."
